actually its pretty easy. im taking my 2 NO striplights (20w each) and placing them in one housing. this way i dont have to have 2 lights taking up all the top tank space. thats prime realestate!

so my plan is to use one power cable, and 2 switches. i plan to make a bracket from some plexi to mount the ends on, and to just bolt the tiny cute little ballasts onto the plastic housing.

oh and for extra power, because you know im all about POWER, im gonna spray paint the inside of the housing REFLECTIVE SILVER.

itll be brighter and hopefully wont start a fire! that rhymes! and so does the post title! ZING!
